MagLite - ST3D016 Maglite LED 3-Cell D Flashlight, Black

Bought it for my dad as a Christmas gift. We tried it out and could see all the way to their garage, 100 feet! Hard to imagine better light from a 3D cell light.

This is a solid, well built flashlight. The led bulb is bright, and should provide good battery life The light beam is adjustable; it can be used as a very long range spot light, or a much wider floodlight. Cant comment about water resistance. I use rechargeable NiMh batteries. I purchased AA to D cell battery adapters from Amazon. Three AA batteries will make up a D cell. I use rechargeable batteries since these type of batteries do not leak, and I always have spare cells in the battery charger. I have had too many flashlights destroyed by leaking alkaline batteries.

Fantastically bright, so much so that it seems to use D cells far faster than I thought it would even though the light is LED. Great flash light just dont expect the same battery performance as the small LED flashlights provide. Flawless Maglite construction.

Great flashlight. Cant be happier.

The best and brightest for the money. Maglite heavy duty quality. Extremely bright with a focus lens. I use eneeloop D size adapters on rechargeable AA batteries which makes this very cost effective. It was a great thing to have during Super Storm Sandy. Always dependable you can rely on MagLite.

The quality I have come to expect of a Maglite. Light weight, built well, durable

No surprises.

This is not the same you get from HomeDepot, this has the new LED bulb which has not moving part like the old light bulb, it has a IC or computer little mother board and it is bright and use MUCH less energy and that is why it can last so long. Good for camping and fixing cars and it can last for many many hours. Good buy with FREE shipping

works great!

like that it is led, very long battery life, uses common d size batteries, high lumens output, can be used as an impact weapon (if needed), MADE IN USA!. only con is the same old issue with maglites of this size - get a black hole in the middle of the beam if one does not align the light beam just right. But, I can live with it as I have in the past with the non-led models; just adjust the beam. excellent price via amazon. I will be buying more once I submit this review. Update: bought a second one in red as a gift for someone. Once I received it, I noticed that something was rattling around in the package. So, even though it was a gft, I had to open it up. Turned out that the spring in the tail cap had come loose. Twisted the spring back into the tail cap, loaded batteries, and all was well. I mention this in case it happens to you; easy fix. Great flashlight.
